Logging In/Account Creation

If you have never had an @postgresql.org account before, or for some reason
can't get into yours, please e-mail josh@postresql.org a password which you want to use.

Your Address

Your e-mail address will be the 2-letter ISO country code for your country,
followed by @postgresql.org. For example, Diogo has br@postgresql.org.
The exceptions to this are Devrim, who has devrim@postgresql.org due to his
work on the website, and Tatsuo/JPUG, who prefer to use their list address.

We will not be using people's personal addresses, because the @postgresql.org

addresses make possible an easy transition from one regional contact to
another. It also looks more professional.

Appropriate Uses of Your @Postgresql.org address

Your @postgresql.org address is intended strictly for use when doing volunteer
advocacy for PostgreSQL.org. It is NOT intended for a general mailbox or
business address; remember, it may be assigned to someone else at any time
which you are unable to volunteer.

This can particularly be a challenge for consultants. My rule is, if you're

answering queries from @postgresql.org, you can recommend your own business
for consulting ... but you MUST mention other appropriate consultants in the
area as well. Nor should you take referral fees for business referred
through your @postgresql.org address. (Sorry if this seems pedantic, but
there have already been some misunderstandings.)

I will be forwarding e-mails received from the public to your @postgresql.org

address from time to time. This is much, much easier for me than keeping
track of personal addresses. As such, it's important that you continue to
check the address (see below) for the next year, or tell me when you are
stopping.

Also, please remember that you are not personally able to make decisions on

behalf of the whole PostgreSQL.org community. No-one is, not even the
members of Core Team. We are a democratic organization. I have to tell
reporters and businesspeople that all the time.
